Topic: Loriinae


In the News (Thu 16 Oct 08)

  
  A Review of all Publications about Lories and Lorikeets.
The colorful plumage and playful nature of the Loriinae have attracted attention from many aviculturists and birdkeepers throughout the years.
For some, lack of knowledge about the lories has given these birds the reputation as being "messy" and "difficult to keep." Yet, there are some aviculturists who not only admire the lories but know how to raise and care for them in captivity.
Originally published in 1977, this was the only book about lories that was available to the general public for many years.

 International Zoo News No. 294
One of her earliest books was Lories and Lorikeets (1977), which remained the standard work on this subfamily until the appearance of the Hancock House Encyclopedia of the Lories.
The distinction between the terms _lory' and _lorikeet', inciden-tally, lacks precision and varies from author to author; _lories' in a broad sense may be taken to include the lorikeets as well, so the Encyclopedia covers all 53 members of the Loriinae.
Although Rosemary Low has had dealings with as many parrot species as anyone alive, she has always been especially fond of the lories, and today they form the overwhelming majority of her private collection.
